The Death Note lets you kill anyone by writing their real name in the notebook, although you must know their face.
It can also work up to 150 years in the future, but you have to pay half your lifespan for the future eyes to really use it
Christopher Columbus never meets Queen Isabella.
Earthdivers is a graphic novel. In the future, a group of Native Americans discover time travel and decide to use it to fix the mistakes of the past. First problem is Columbus.
Orson Scott Card did something along these lines in the book Pastwatch.
I’m going back to the like 1780s and going full John Brown.
The Beatles…so i could write their songs now and be a sort-of-working pub musician with a catalog of songs nobody gets.
You’ll be dodging all the other time travelers trying to erase Yellow Submarine.
They’re old, but not that old.
Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace were on the verge of inventing computers back in the 1820s.
I’d like to see what happens when I get them to suceed.
How do you suppose to achieve this with a Death Note?
That’s just the backup
I’m in 1820 with all my knowledge of the future.
I don’t need the Death Note.
Not OP, but you can control people before their death, so… Probably write other people around them and force them to help before their suicides?
Quick, find Donald Trump’s family tree and start pruning the old branches
Could do the same with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and other dictators. Juist kill one person in each one family tree and see how it works out.
Just start with or before the Neanderthals…
Churchill, Gandhi, Hitler, Mountbatten off the top of my head.
Seriously Ghandi before Hitler? I mean he was no saint, but he was a long way from being in the same ballpark as Hitler.
To each their own.
Not 150 years ago.
No one.
Congratulations. You do not become a shinigami.
I have a special and unique hatred for Diego de Landa, burner of the Mayan books. I would remove him and as many of his associates as possible from history.
That’s a great pick, damn ! fuck that Diego guy
Can I throw in Vespucci and/or Colombus as well ?
the Mayan curse cosplay
This is the best one, IMHO. I’d want to make it painful.
Adam and Eve
Not good enough. I’m killing LUCA.
Take my upvote .
alexander the great, indirectly probably kills just about every western despot after him and we’d all be speaking mongolian probably
I doubt it. No one speaks Latin now.
alexander dies christianity and the roman model never spread across europe, all of christiandom dies in it’s crib (note, havent actually looked at the history of this all that closely).
catholism never takes off and we don’t have the HRE or any of it’s bastard children. no german empire, no french, no english, no protestants spreading to the new world etc.
Tbf Alexander already died at a pretty young age, he was only in his 30s afaik.
Epstein ,Musk ,Peter Thiel ,
Find Trump’s and every other major Nazis great great grandparents
ITT: people think musk, trump, Hitler etc were born in the early 1800s.
I don’t need the deathnote just a tablet with a bunch of books downloaded. Good fucking luck stopping me 🫡
